| 1 | Therfor if ye han risun togidere with Crist, seke ye tho thingis that ben aboue, where Crist is sittynge in the riythalf of God. |
| 2 | Sauere ye tho thingis, that ben aboue, not tho that ben on the erthe. |
| 3 | For ye ben deed, and youre lijf is hid with Crist in God. |
| 4 | For whanne Crist schal appere, youre lijf, thanne also ye schulen appere with hym in glorie. |
| 5 | Therfor sle ye youre membris, whiche ben on the erthe, fornycacioun, vnclennesse, letcherie, yuel coueitise, and aueryse, which is seruyse of mawmetis; |
| 6 | for whiche thingis the wraththe of God cam on the sones of vnbileue; |
| 7 | in whiche also ye walkiden sum tyme, whanne ye lyueden in hem. |
| 8 | But now putte ye awei alle thingis, wraththe, indignacioun, malice, blasfemye and foule word of youre mouth. |
| 9 | Nyle ye lie togidere; spuyle ye you fro the elde man with his dedes, and clothe ye the newe man, |
| 10 | that is maad newe ayen in to the knowing of God, aftir the ymage of hym that made hym; |
| 11 | where is not male and female, hethene man and Jew, circumcisioun and prepucie, barbarus and Scita, bonde man and fre man, but alle thingis and in alle thingis Crist. |
| 12 | Therfor ye, as the chosun of God, hooli and louyd, clothe you with the entrailis of merci, benygnite, and mekenesse, temperaunce, pacience; |
| 13 | and support ye echon other, and foryyue to you silf, if ony man ayens ony hath a querele; as the Lord foryaf to you, so also ye. |
| 14 | And vpon alle these thingis haue ye charite, that is the boond of perfeccioun. |
| 15 | And the pees of Crist enioye in youre hertis, in which ye ben clepid in o bodi, and be ye kynde. |
| 16 | The word of Crist dwelle in you plenteuousli, in al wisdom; and teche and moneste you silf in salmes, and ympnes, and spiritual songis, in grace synginge in youre hertis to the Lord. |
| 17 | Al thing, what euere thing ye don, in word or in dede, alle thingis in the name of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, doynge thankyngis to God and to the fadir bi hym. |
| 18 | Wymmen, be ye sugetis to youre hosebondis, as it bihoueth in the Lord. |
| 19 | Men, loue ye youre wyues, and nyle ye be bittere to hem. |
| 20 | Sones, obeie ye to youre fadir and modir bi alle thingis; for this is wel plesinge in the Lord. |
| 21 | Fadris, nyle ye terre youre sones to indignacioun, that thei be not maad feble hertid. |
| 22 | Seruauntis, obeie ye bi alle thingis to fleischli lordis, not seruynge at iye, as plesynge to men, but in symplenesse of herte, dredinge the Lord. |
| 23 | What euer ye doen, worche ye of wille, as to the Lord and not to men; |
| 24 | witinge that of the Lord ye schulen take yelding of eritage. Serue ye to the Lord Crist. |
| 25 | For he that doith iniurie, schal resseyue that that he dide yuele; and acceptacioun of persoones is not anentis God. |
